Creation kit for Four-Bar-Linkages (4Bar/Linkages)
Description
Depending on the input parameter this functions returns parts of a creation kit or a complete creation kit for physical experiments with 4-Bar-linkages, gears etc:

'Knob': Knob for turning parts manually or as stopper
'Bar': Basic elements of a linkage
'Spacer': spacing element required for some configurations
'Bolt': turning bolt as axis to connect two bars as joint

'Brick': Basic element with sockets for shafts and bolts
'Plate': Square grid of bricks as base plate for experiments
'Test': Small plate plus limited numbers of bars for test the 3D-Printer
'all': All parts for a 4-Bar-Linkage construction kit
'kit': Same as all but including a box/case
